It called a ring worm because it forms a ring which is kind of lumpy the middle is smooth, the only thing that feels bumpy is the ring. I hope this helps you, and ring worms can happen anywhere, on feet, hands, back, buttocks, face legs. Everywhere. Good luck. ooo and I know this because I had one like four months ago.
Almost forgot, donīt but any creams on it, because it will just disappear for a day and come back bigger. When I had the ring worm I would apply some lotrisome and elecon and this would make it disapper for a day and the next day the ring got bigger and bigger. The doctor told me that I was feeding it and this is why it got bigger. |
nope...not a ring worm. she has had that before and it looked a lot different. we went to 2 different doctors just to make sure but they both said it does not appear to be lyme disease. they both said it looked to be a spider bite or another bug bite that just got infected. she is on augmentin for 10 days. it already looks a LOT better and almost appears to be going away completely. it does still itch a bit but she is not scratching and she is keeping benadryl creme on it, per the doctors advice.
thanks for all of the advice/concerns. it appears she will be just fine and that this is nothing to be too awful concerned with, now that we have her on antibiotics.
i will let you know if anything changes.
thanks for the prayers!!! i'm glad it was nothing too serious.
